Tips for setting camera PDF Print E-mail
  • HariesDesign.com - Don’t use digital zoom. It will make your images look bad. Find a way to switch it off on your camera. If you need to, do the upsizing in post processing.

  • Avoid full automatic shooting mode (aka “Green Mode”). Program mode will do the same for you, but you’ll be able to shift exposure and aperture to your liking.

  • Try manual mode. If your camera allows you to do so, give manual mode a try, especially if you are shooting in a situation where the light conditions don’t change much. The camera’s built-in light meter is a very precise tool that will help you get the settings right once and then continue using them in order to get consistent results throughout a whole photo shoot.

  • If your camera allows you to set up different image profiles for shooting, make use of them. For example have one profile that boosts contrast and colour saturation, one that is neutral and one that has less contrast and saturation. This way when it’s a bright sunny day with harsh contrasts, you can use the low contrast profile and reduce the chance of blowing out areas of your image. Or if the light is very flat and dull, you can use the high contrast profile and this way make the picture pop a little more.
